Crosslisted as Econ M135. Schwartz is an AMAZING man. If you have the chance, get to know him because he has been involved with many interesting and influential events. Schwartz really enjoys political models... ie voting, bill passing etc. He uses a vague grading scale such as excellent, or not your best, which can be frustrating but in the end he seemed to grade fairly. Assigns A LOT of reading, that he sometimes refers to in class and other times does not. If you can think on your feet you should fare fine. Assignments are well spaced and feel free to chat with him about it if you are confused. He also loves colored chalk and can be quite funny. Overall, you will learn in accordance to the amount of effort you put into it.
